  • When Asia Was the World
    • Rated 4 stars

    This book is a bit difficult to chew as it contains several great names with different back grounds. But it is also interesting to read how history connected them (or their thoughts). I think I'll need to reread it again to really get into it. Yet, I found so many interesting facts of history in it.

    It helps me to see through another point of view...Sometimes we think that we are helping others while actually they need us to help them differently...

  • Jesus CEO : Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership
    • Rated 0 stars

    The questions at the end of each chapter are digging deeper into finding the inner you...
    Perhaps we believe in God 100%, but how much do you believe in yourself?
    This book is really nice to use as a guidance for self meditation, it would help to answer your needs by asking the questions to a special you!

    She inspired me to start my own diary. She showed me that we should not generalized people, and some people can be a friend in need! Hope I can offer strength and friendship as those peoples who saved her.

    Yasmeen, thanks for sharing it. Do you have the link of the interview?
    I've been wondering while reading this book, what kind of mother could do such a thing. Especially because the special treatment was only addressed to Dave.

  • Follow Your Heart
    • Rated 5 stars

    I actually read this one in Bahasa Indonesia, translated from Ca dove ti porta il cuore by Antonius Sudiarja SJ into "Pergilah Ke Mana Hati Membawamu"

    Live is full of choices, and we've got to pick up our choices. I do hope that the Lord can reside in my heart so He will always guide my decisions.

    I am half reading it, but it become more and more interesting.

    Teach us how to be different, and keep alighting the same spirit to the younger generation. Being idealistic in this consumerism globalized world is not easy. That's when I remember this book.
